Students learn from UCLA faculty and PhD students, gaining intensive hands-on coding experience and mentorship within a world-class research university environment.
The UCLA Computer Science Summer Institute (CSSI) offers rigorous three-week pre-college programs designed for high school students passionate about computer science, particularly in AI and Generative AI. Students engage in intensive hands-on coding experiences, coursework, homework assignments, and exams. The curriculum is taught by UCLA faculty and PhD students, with interactive mentorship from undergraduate tutors. Participants delve into machine learning principles, data analysis, and the development of generative models. The program culminates in a tutor-supervised capstone project, allowing students to apply learned techniques to real-world problems. This immersive experience provides a taste of university-level education and prepares students for future academic and professional endeavors in technology.
A typical day includes a lecture from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, followed by a group discussion from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
This program is ideal for academically motivated high school students with a strong passion for computer science and an interest in AI and machine learning, who have some prior coding experience.
